Description
This trail can be accessed at the Red Rocks parking area just off Highway 67. The trail will initially follow a ridgeline, then descend toward the road. About halfway through the loop, turn left onto singletrack near the fence. A gate allows you to access The Centennial Trail #669; however, if you stay on the left side of the fence, you can complete the entire loop on singletrack. Otherwise, this is an easy and generally non-technical loop that is great for beginner hikers or folks warming up for the more robust Mule Creek Trail. This trail is multi-use so be aware of and courteous to others.
